Fair Housing
A Colorado apartment complex owner who allows a white tenant's unauthorized pet to stay while evicting a Black tenant for the same violation is engaged in:
AA. Legitimate exercise of landlord discretion
BB. Racial discrimination through unequal enforcement of lease terms✓ Correct
CC. A permissible policy if the leases are different
DD. Only a state law issue, not a federal FHA violation
Explanation
Applying lease terms and rules differently based on the race (or other protected class) of the tenant is direct racial discrimination under the Fair Housing Act and Colorado's Anti-Discrimination Act. Unequal enforcement of lease provisions is a well-recognized form of housing discrimination, regardless of whether the underlying rule itself is neutral.
